THH PULASKI CITTzEN-

An argument is being made thus:
Ex- President Davis fought the
war to perpetuate slavery on the
states rights idea.
He now opposes prohibition on
that idea.
The logic of this argument, car
ried to its legitimate eud, is the re-
enslavement Of the negro.
Of course that result is imnossi
BILE but the argument forces that de-
duction logically. We very nearly
believe with the grand old hero in
his ideas with respect to states
rights. We wonder very much,
however, that the negroes are fol-
lowing him in conclusions arrived
at by the identical processes of
thought that actuated him in pros
ecutlng war to perpetuate slavery.

The Rev. Mr.. Woolsack IN bis
sermon up the creek last Sunday,
as reported by the Oil City Derrick,
made a few remarks pertinent to
base ball. Pointing out the win
low at game in progress on The
adjoining Wilson fats, he said /:

On his head standing like strad-
Ole bug behind she bat. He is not
desecrating the Sabbath day by
playing ball because he isn't playing
ball. He can't play. He imagines
ne can Of course, and goes lazily
through all the painful contortions
ofreal ball-players, but in tue devils
score-book he is charged ten times
over for every error he makes, and
nice record he will have when the
season is over"
Just then soue one made long
hit and a shout went up from the
crowd.
Yes, hooplar' yelled the preach
er, raising his voice above the din,
''hoopla until the COWS come home,
but unless you raise your voices in

The state loses $4,000 and the

messed must have been some unusual and
tremendous display of the supernatural.
However, we were more awed and astonished
than frightened. We therefore at once de-
termined to have look through the ruined
town by daylight.
After breakfast, for which neither Of us
had much appetite, we looked after our ami
mails, that appeared to have been quietly
grazing all night on the fiat above our camp.
and then went down the trail, up which the
woman had fed during the night, and turned
into the little valley to explore the ruins Of
the town.
We found in It many skulls and other
human bones, and by marks on the walls 1t
was plainly to be seen that the place had
been destroyed by fire. We found the re-
mains of gateway, just where the gate had
appeared the night before, and near it an old
bronze cannon of the howitzer pattern. The
old gun had been much hacked and bat
tered about the muzzle where many pieces
of metal had evidently been Clipped off with
hatchets and flint chisels.
Lying in the debris at the bottom of the
church tower we found large bell. 1t was
cracked and had also been much Clipped and
hacked. There were many fragments of
pottery both European and Indian, about the
ruins of the houses. but everything made of
metal, except the bell and the cannon had
evidently been carried away by the Indians.

SOME DAY or pAYs.

Some day, some day Of days, threading the
street
With idle, needless pace,
Unlocking for such grace,
shall behold your face!
Some day, some day of days, thus may We
meet.
Psfchance the sun may shine from skies Of
May,
Or winters icy chill
Touch whitley vale or hill:
What matter2 shall thrill
Through every vein with summer on that
day.
Once more life's perfect youth will all come
back,
And for o moment there
Ishall stand fresh and fair
And drop the garment care;
Once more my perfect youth shall nothing
lack.
Ishut my eyes now, thinking how twill lie,
How. face to face, each >utl
Will slip its long control,
Forget the dismal dole
OF dreary fate's dark, separating sea;
And glance to glance and hand to hand in
greeting,
The past, with all its fears.
Its silence and its tears.
Its lonely yearning years.
Shall vanish in the moment of thst meeting.

THE EXTINCT AUSTRALIAN LION.
Some Well-preserved Remains Discovered
Pointing to it, Past Existence.

Some Well-preseeved Remains DiscovereA
Pointing to it, Past Existence.
It has long been disputed point, and in
deed vexed question, a. to whether the 20
called great Australian lion ever existed.
Some interesting discoveries, however, have
been recently made in the Wellington caves,
New South Wales, Of undoubted remains Of
this animal. The bones are at present de-
posted in the Mines Department Museum,
Sydney, and consist Of veral very complete
jawbones, containing the teeth In an excel
lent staIe of preservation. Prior to being
publicly exhlb bited they were submitted to
the inspection of Professor Sir Richard
Owen, Of the British Museum, and his opin-
ION Is that the animal was marsupil or
pouch-beanng lion, fully equal In size TO the
existing Affican specieg. Discoveries Of Leon
Inc remains have ct various times been made
In New South Wales, and also In Victoria,
and the specim ems In question are well pre-
served. They have oeen excavated ffom
p0stpleiocene deposits, and In connection
with them were the remains Of what are
known as the Tasmanian tiger and the Tas-
manian devil. An equally interesting fact
ts that Professor Owen, when referring
many years ago to the herbivorous charac-
teristics Of the Australian diprotodon, ex-
pressed his conviction that some large carniv-
orous animal must have been coexistent
with him, TO keep the race In check. and that
probably lions then inhabited Australia, Q
hypothesis which has been fully verified.
These fects are interesting. q helping to -

As he came on, the Spaniard cut down
two or three naked savages who advanced
to meet him and tried to seize his birdie.
Passing the heskirmishers in front, he observed
the ropes that were stretched before him.
1t was too late to shun the trap, therefore
he spurred his horse forward with the inten-
ton of leaping the rope that was held d.

point OWNED his design and at the critical
moment raised their rope, hoping to sweep
the rider off his steed. A blow of his sword

before which were lying heaps. Of excellent

and were soon asleep. Soon after midnight
however, we were again aroused by the

bell. Then came the firing of the muskets,
the cannon, the shrieking and uproar, the
burning of the town, blowing up Of the
with chilling blood and bristling hair--the
woman in white came flying along the trail
to the tunnel, and closely following came
her savage pursuer. Day then began to
break and all was over.
On this occasion we made no attempt to

screams were SO despairing, her attempts to
screen her hewad ith her arms 20 desperate,
and the whole scene 90 real that IL was
agonizing and blood-curdling.
We determined not to spend another night
on the spot That morning, before resuming
our explorations, we moved over to the little
fiat on, valley next Selow that on which stood
before fine spring Of pure water and below
it small meadow of good grass.
All day we again explored the mountains.
We found signs Of ancient mining in score
of places. However, all the tunnels being
caved, either at the mouth or within at no
great distance, we could make no close ex-
animation for the reason that we had no
mining tools. It would have been quite out
of character for us to have carried anything
of the kind costumed as we were.
In our new camp we hoped to be undis-
turbed by ghostly tragedies. Being very
tired that evening when we got In from the
hills, as well as worn out by our vigils of the
two nights previous, we were soon sound
asleep. About the same hour, however, as
startled by the clamorous Dong. dong!

squad of Indians approaching from the direc-

they were dragging along with them some
persons they had captured We presently
saw that the prisoners were three priests with
ropes about their necks.

Instinctively, Arthur and had darted for
ward to the rescue, but had only taken q
few steps when the savage had finished his
work and was returning as swiftly as he had
come. He seemed in his flight to .,ass be-
tween us. and within reach of both. We
both tried to seize him, but our hands met
and the brave passed ON toward the trail.
We then turned to where the woman had
fallen at the mouth of the tunnel, but no
woman was there. Again we turned our
eyes toward the town. The eastern sky in
that quarter was rosy with the coming day,
and in the early morning light we saw ly-
ing silent before us the ruined place, looking
just as when first seen the evening before.
At first we were so overwhelmed with as
tonishment as to be unable to speak. Our
encounter with the fleeing woman and her
savage pursuer had been so sudden, and our
situation had been so rapidly succeeded by
another equally startling, that we had not
time in which to consider whether either
had material body or was but air; and 20
it had been in regard to the renewed appear
ance of the walls and houses of the town-our
minds were 30 occupied with the rush of
events, and the heat and excitement of bat
tie, that we gave no thought to the changes
that had taken place. Now, however, as we
gazed upon the ruins Of the town in the
broadening light of day and saw neither
smoke nor flames rising therefrom, so awed
and chilled were we that our hearts seemed
to have lost power to move the blood in our
veins. We were completely exhausted. both
mentally and physically; were benumbed and
dumb. My legs almost refused to support
my body and ] flung myself down upon my
blankets. Arthur had also tumbled down
all of heap, Frustrated and limp.
As both had seen and heard the same
things, little was said when at last we aroused
ourselves. We agreed that what we had wit
